You should probably start with thinking about things like: - how would you represent the current state of the board in memory? (arrays are a nice option) - how would you let users declare their moves? (keyboard and/or mouse) - how would you figure out if someone has won the current game? (depending on the decisions for the first point, this could be either very easy or very difficult, so it's good to think ahead). |

Have you done multi-dimensional arrays yet? I assume that's what you would need) |

You should consider tony and insectoid's advices before trying to make a scoring system. You should not be worrying about making that right now. But theres a hint anyways: Scoring is number games someone wins so you should variable to store their scores. Evertime they win you add 1 to it. |
